Carrie Richards Poet Haiku

Running Straight To Divorce Court

haiku:  

a final lap---
the race ends before
crossing the finish line


limerick:  

They finally took the marriage leap!
They said the vows they hoped to keep!
But while in bed
She acted dead!
He claimed he used his best techniques!

couplet:

They ran in circles on frozen ground
But when the marriage ends,....no winners crowned.......
